lin the distance, he set out on his
Qng, cold walk in the opposite direc-
ton.
He thought over the events of the
evening as he strobe rapidly over the
crisp snow path. If Norman felt de-
pressed, he was far from being ella
ted. Hetty, it was true, had shown
him marked favor, but he was by no
means sure of her preference. And
it was of vital importance to him
that he should win her. Difficulties
were closing around him on every
side, If he could only stave them
off until Hetty was his wife, he knew
that farmer Dunlap would help him
for his daughters sake, and once
free from his entanglements he would
lead a new life. He had lived fast,
had done many things which he
ought not to have done, but he was
not entirely bad, and although in his
mannish selfishness he was willing to
appropriate Hetty and her patrimony
to himself, he said aloud, as he walk
ed on in the bright starlight:

win her, will make q good hus-

singing master to stay tonight"
said Mrs. Dunlap, when she had her
husband to herself. Cant you see
that he's dangling after Hetty? for
one don't want to give him no
chances to cut out Norman. / don't
half like him, with his white hands
and black beard and soft ways"
Well, well, mother" said the
farmer, there amt no harm done,

That's just the trouble" said Mrs.
Dunlap. Girls don't know their

us nearer homeopathic editors
from giving free notices? But no
one need worry about this particular
feature of the Inter State Commerce
law. If the railroads find it to their
advantage to carry a man for nothing
they will find a way to do it. 1t may
give them good excuse for refusing
favors to the chronic dead beats, and
it will be useful that far, but that it
will reach the evils it is intended to
prevent is all bosh. And it is Just as
well that it is so, for the principle
that man shall not be allowed to
control his own property is a danger
GUS one to instil into our laws. Te
say that every service rendered should
be paid for is very nice theory, but
no laws nor power on earth can put
it into practical effect.

OSCILLATION.

All the Year Round.
The "British Apollo" when asked
why kissing was so popular, what its
benefit, and who its inventor, replied:
"Ah, madame, had you a lover you
would not come to Apollo for a So
luton; since there is no dispute but
the kisses of mutual lovers give in
finite satisfaction. AS to its inven-
ton it is certain that nature was its
author, and it began with the first
courtship." 1t seems difficult to con-
ceive of a time when kissing was I'M
known in this island, and yet a Scan
dinavian tradition states that kissing
was first introduced into England by
Rowena, the beautiful daughter of
Hengist. In Edward the IV's reign
it was usual for a guest, both on his
arrival and his departure, to kiss his
hostess and all the ladies of her fami-
ly. Again, in Henry's time, when
Cavendish visited a French noble
man at his own chateau, the mistress
Of the house at the head of her maid
ems thus greeted him: "For as much
as We be an Englishman, whose GUS
tom it is in your country to kiss all
ladies and gentlewomen without Of
Tense, and although it be not so here
in this realm, yet l will be so bold as
to kiss you, and 80 shall all my maid
ems" Erasmus, grave and staid
scholar as he was, writes enthusiastic
ally of the practice: "If you go to
any place you are received with a kiss
by all if you depart on a journey
you are dismissed with a kiss; you
return-kiSses are exchanged; they
come to visit you-a kiss the first
thing; they leave you-you kiss them
all round. Do they meet you any
where-kisses in abundance. Lastly,
wherever you move, there is nothing
but kisses-and if you had but once
tasted them! how soft they are! how
fragrant! on my honor you would not
wish to reside here for ten years only,
but for life"

She Knew a Magnet.

Some years ago Miss Il was
teaching school in Dixon, Ill. One
day in the reading class they came

quested those who knew to hold up
their right hands.
All the class was motionless for a
moment, and then one little girl rose
and put up her hand. "Well, my

Free Passes.
Western Plowman.

Western Plowman.
There is one feature about the Inter
State Commerce bill that looks just
little ludicrous. 1t prohibits rail-
roads from issuing free passes except
to their own employees. Now we are
as much opposed to deadheadism as
any one. What transportation we
get we pay for, and would not, if we
could, get it in any other way; but
to prohibit by law man or corpora
ton from giving away what is his
own, looks like prohibition gone to
seed. Why not extend the principle
still further and prohibit the grocer
from bribing his patrons by giving
candy to their children? Why not
prohibit the lawyer from giving free
advice? Or why not-and this strikes

The Tacoma Ledger has the efl'ront-
ry to make the bold and unqualified
assertion that more money has been
spent in the erection Of buildings in
Tacoma during the present year than
in any other city in Oregon or WASH
ington territory. The only way we
can account for this arrogant and
sweeping assertion is that the Ledger
considers Spokane Falls out OF the
territory. Taking the Ledger's own
figures as the amount OF money in.
vested in building improvements dur.
ing 1887 in that city and Spokane
Falls can surpass it byat Least $500, 900
Because the Spokane papers do not
devote their entire editorial columns
day after day to booming this city
with all the vigor that could be called
to their command, and devote col
umn to every shed that is erected
within the city limits, the Ledger
probably imagines that Tacoma is the
only place on the coast that is en- joy.
ing prosperity. The papers and people
of Spokane Falls are pleased to know
that Tacoma is growing with almost
phenomenal rapidity. That Seattle is
still holding its own against every oh.
stacle. That Walla Walla, Yakima
Elensburgh, and other centres OF pop
ulation are forging ahead, for it means
additional wealth to the territory,
and a brighter prospect of state
hood, Spokane people suffer no
jealousy on account Of the progress Of
other places. They are possessed OF
broad and generous ideas. They are
contented with city, the beauty and
prospects of which are not excelled
anywhere in America, and they
can afford to look with COM
plancency upon the growth Of other
places. They are not dependent for
their futu.e upon the unstable backing
Of any one corporation or combina-
ton of individuals, but depend upon II
location and tributary surroundings
that are such as would support com.
munity of an hundred thousand even
in their present state of partial devel.
opment. On the strength of its nat
ural advantages Spokane Falls has
grown wonderfully in late years and
especially during the past year, when
the population has increased to fully
5000 souls, and over a million dollars
have been spent in buildings, to say
nothing of general improvements,
We know from authority better to be
depended on than the Ledger that
Tacoma has made rapid strides this
year, but that that town has outstripped

that unprejudiced inspection would
